“He confessed to the entire membership and then to the city of
Montgomery, because as soon as he got done confessing, it went all over
Montgomery anyway,” Deacon Nathan Williams Jr. told WSFA 12 News. “So
it’s nothing we [are] making up. It’s coming out of his mouth.”
According to the news station, McFarland’s announcement has continued
to shake the Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church to its foundation. Church
members told the news station that they were stunned to learn, from
McFarland’s admission, that he found out he was HIV-positive in 2003 and
has had AIDS since 2008. But that wasn’t all. According to the news
station, McFarland also acknowledged that he had used drugs and misused
church funds.
I know a young lady who is
a member of the church who says she has slept with him and that she
didn’t want this to go public, and she running out now trying to find
out if there is anything wrong with her,” a church member, who didn’t
want to be named, told the news station. “And my heart goes out to her
because she’s been a wonderful church member, and then for something
like this to happen. The fact that he didn’t tell them at all, that’s a
crime in itself.”
According to WSFA, “McFarland was removed as church pastor on Oct. 5.”
Several members of the church told the news station that the
revelation not only has stunned the church but also has several women
concerned for their safety.
